    Looks very slick Sir! Love the video. The soldered RAM is a bit of a showstopper for me. Running a T480 with 64GB RAM right now and with over 100 chrome tabs open, I doubt 8GM is going to run smooth.

    1. That weird port on the left side is for the Ethernet dongle.
    2. I think some T490s's came with a 10th gen CPU.

    • @HaisteComputerRepair
      @HaisteComputerRepair  13 дней назад

      Yes definitely you can use an RJ45 ethernet to either USB C or USB 3.0 adapter. The T490s only has 8th gen Intel but the T490 does have up to 10th gen.

    mindboggling that thinkpad would even think about having soldered memory. By the way, is it possible for hobbyists to replace soldered memory? Of course it would be complex, but is it doable?

    • @learndesignwithdev
      @learndesignwithdev Месяц назад

      Ofcourse. You can install maximum that motherboard supports. Just that there shouldn't be Bios lock to support only 8gb Ram.

      It takes some skill to do that level of soldering. I would love to do this. I haven't heard of anyone doing it to a T490s, but I would be interested in seeing it done.

      @@HaisteComputerRepair definitely would remove one of the biggest objections to the newer thinkpads, if the ram is at least theoretically upgradeable. Still a faff, but better than being stuck with 8gig. depending on the costs, it might make it very worth it to buy a low spec device and then resolder it to high heaven.
      Afaik, the P series is now the only thinkpad with upgradeable memory. Not exactly portable though :D

    No SD card slot and soldered 8Gb ram is a bit dissapointing for a Thinkpad

    • @HaisteComputerRepair
      @HaisteComputerRepair  Месяц назад +1

      The port on the back actually doubles as a Micro SD Card reader and Nano Sim Card, but it will depend on which version you get if you get one or both supported.

    Hellow just bought mine used i7 8 gen 32 ram variant , for what I've tested so far it was good it just the battery cycle is around 590 and guess what the full capacity charge exceed the design charge by over 2,200 and also Im still checking how long the battery last for what I've tested so far it can go 3 hours only doing basic web searching and youtube watching still checking it out for now. Should I be worried??

      No that is normal for used lithium ion batteries. The degrade over time. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't. You could look into third party options.
